Whistler Village Craft Beer Tasting Festival 2013

The Whistler Village Beer Festival is a one-day beer tasting event held at Whistler's Olympic Plaza. Thirty-six different craft breweries will be taking part in the festival representing the nations of Canada, The United States, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands and New Zealand.

The festival brings together a unique number of craft breweries from across Canada and the rest of the world. Each brewery will have its own booth where they will serve 2-5 different beer options. Patrons will use tokens that will act as currency in exchange for beer. Each token will grant you one fill up of your official WVBF glass. Be for-warned these glasses are usually 1/3 the size of a bottle of beer so don't expect full servings every time. The festival is set to take place at Whistler Olympic Plaza on Saturday, September 14. The festival will be open from 1 PM to 5:30 PM.

Tickets for the festival can be purchased for $35 on the Whistler Village Beer Festival website. Tickets include entry, 5 beer tokens, $10 food voucher, WVBF novelty mug and a 'Best in Fest' beer ballot. Additional tokens they can be purchased for an additional $1.25 each.
